These options influence how chamfer features are recognized by the DimXpert commands, and define the tolerance values used when size tolerances are created by the
Auto Dimension Scheme 
or
Size Dimension 
tools.
These options do not affect pre-existing features, dimensions, or tolerances.
Width settings
Controls when faces can be considered as candidates for chamfer features.
These controls do not affect the recognition of SOLIDWORKS chamfers as DimXpert chamfer features.
| Chamfer width ratio |
Sets the chamfer width ratio, which is computed by dividing the width of a face adjacent to a candidate chamfer by the width of the candidate chamfer.
In order to be recognized as a chamfer, the result must be greater than the ratio for each calculation.
|
In these examples, the Chamfer width ratio is set to 1.
 The colored face would be recognized as a chamfer (ratios of 2 and 1.5)
This colored face would be recognized as a plane (ratios of 2 and .75)
|
| Chamfer maximum width |
Sets the maximum chamfer width.
|
In these examples, the Chamfer maximum width is set to 10.
The face with a width of 9 is recognized as a chamfer.
 The face with a width of 20 is recognized as a plane.
